A Serenity By The Sea – Fetch the Waves!

Welcome to “A Serenity By The Sea” — where life’s better in flip-flops and paws leave sandy prints.

If your idea of paradise includes sunrise coffee with an ocean view, salty breezes, and your pup snoozing happily at your feet, you’ve found your shore thing. Tucked away in the peaceful stretch of North Topsail Beach, this dog-friendly oceanfront escape welcomes up to two dogs (up to 30 lbs each) — because vacations are better when the whole pack comes along.

This spacious single-family retreat comfortably sleeps up to 10 adults across four bedrooms and two bathrooms. With three queen beds, a twin-over-twin bunk with twin trundle, and a cozy futon, there’s room for everyone to drift off after a sun-soaked day. Sweet beach dreams guaranteed.

The reverse floor plan means the best views are front and center. Head upstairs to the bright, open living space where coastal décor meets laid-back comfort. Large windows frame endless Atlantic blues, and the sound of waves crashing provides your personal relaxation soundtrack. It’s the perfect place to unwind, reconnect, and let your worries drift out with the tide.

Step out onto the expansive oceanfront deck and soak it all in. Morning sunrises, afternoon dolphin watching, and golden-hour glow — this is front-row seating to Mother Nature’s greatest hits. With private beach access just steps away, you can go from couch to coast in seconds. Barefoot is highly encouraged.

Located in a quiet corner of North Topsail Beach, you’ll enjoy peaceful surroundings while still being a short drive to Surf City and Sneads Ferry for dining, shopping, and adventure. Whether you’re here to shell-ebrate a special occasion, make waves with the family, or simply press “paws” on everyday life, this coastal retreat delivers.

At “A Serenity By The Sea,” the pace is slower, the air is saltier, and the memories come naturally. All you have to do is arrive, exhale, and let the tide do the rest.

Relaxation

My sister and I have very stressful careers and the goal of the week was to get away! Location was great. Property needs attention to hvac with repairs required during our stay. The hvac company was wonderful, Rias Air, but management staff was lacking. Air was malfunctioning on the 2nd day and property was uncomfortable with management staff originally pushing to wait another day for hvac repair. Once repaired the hvac system failed to keep up with the heat of the day on the main floor as the thermostat is on the 1st floor and the main floor constantly cycles from cool to warm. The hot water heater tripped a breaker on the 2nd dayand then continued to not provide adequate water for 1 shower requiring staging of showers. This property could sleep up to 10 people so not providing hot water for 1 shower is very disappointing. There is an overwhelming mildew odor in the front right bedroom which did not abate. The whole property was musty on entering. There seems to be some electrical gremlins with ceiling fans turning off independently while light switch is still in the on position. Drop cords in use in bedrooms or no convent plugs for charging devices. Though this was a great location would not recommend this property due to hvac system and water heater, as well as the one bedroom be unusable due to mildew odor.
